Announcements

Fishing Minnesota has added a new menu item (see above) called Fishing Report Clubs. It's a way to keep the really good fishing reports coming and being shared only with those who also provide detailed fishing reports.
We will only approve new members who request to join if they have already posted a recent fishing report in the area forum, associated with the Fishing Report Club area you want to join.
Initially we are going to limit the number of regular memberships, in the Fishing Report Clubs, to the top 20 members in each Club, to those with the best frequency and quality fishing reports provided in the club and less so in the regular fishing report forum open to all members. The higher quality fishing report reserved for the club of course.
If you want see detailed fishing reports/tips around your area and will share your detailed fishing report as soon as you join, then Join Now!
Some of the clubs are starting to fill fast. Use the Fishing Reports Club link in the Menu above (after you've posted a fishing report in the regular area forum) and request to Join.

You know what we all love...

When you enchant people, you fill them with delight and yourself in return. Have Fun!!!

Fished saturday night from 7-1...what a great night to be on the water. No wind, northern lights and very little boat traffic. The fishing was very good and pretty consistent all night up until we left. We fished inside weed edges in 4.5'-8' of water. Our best bait was #12 HJ trolled at approx. 1.7 mph. Our largest fish was a fat 27 incher with approx 7-10 fish above the 24" mark. The water temp was approx. 56.

I also went out of Terry's because of his boat launch. Fished south of there on outside weedlines, but not luck. Next time I am going in. No trouble with rocks on Saturday, but a couple of weeks ago, I did down by Cove and Spirit Island. I didn't wreck my prop, but I am carrying an extra now.

Weedlines run at various depths depending on water clarity, lake bottom materials, etc. The portions of the lake that we fish on Mille Lacs in the fall that have weeds that run to a depth of about 7' which provides an area for the fish to feed between the inside weededge and the shore and also allows us to fish crankbaits in these areas.

I liked that bit about the boats on trailers and catching rock bass. I also went up Saturday night. Fished from about 6:00-12:00. Had good luck, we started running cranks in about 12-14 fow, then followed the fish up into the 6-8 ft. weedlines. We did see a Eddy's launch, in 14 fow, just hammering the fish. They must have had a net out everytime we went by them, and heard constant "Ya Babies" coming from them. Also noticed a lot of baitfish swimming around just below the surface.

Well, now I know what I did wrong. We launched at Terry's and worked the outside weed edge from Terry's up past the Garrison ramp and back all night on Saturday from 7:00-12:00. Only got one, a 21.5"er. I guess moving in closer to shore was the ticket. Live and learn.

Trolled the inside weedline from 6pm-midnight in under 7' of water. Caught some very nice slot fish and 5 eyes over 24" with the largest at 27.5". All very nice, healthy, strong fish. Conditions couldn't have been better.

I found two of these hiding in the rear of my rod rack...
Lettering on the blank says...
"GR28-7', Medium, 4-10#, IM6 Graphite, Jigging/Rigging"
The cork is a bit faded but overall these look almost new.
Asking $150.00 OBO for the pair.
I'd like to do a face to face sale in or close to Carver County or Eden Prairie. However, shipping is available. I have a actual rod shipping tube that I'll use. I'd need to get you a price quote.

To much pressure. I hope some day they will lower limits to 4 fish year round. People will still come and it couldn’t hurt to try for a few seasons. I haven’t heard anyone say there are to many fish in Lake of the Woods. The Canadian side is the only thing saving this lake.

Typically they jig May through June, then they start to lindy rig or spinner fish July into September. All depends on what you prefer to do. Ballards Resort bait fishes from start to finish but if you want to down rig many others do that starting in July and end sometime in September usually.
